I was invited to visit dell. V-bux.com to complete free trial offers.in exchange for completing the trial offers my referrer agreed to cover the expenses of any processing fees and/or shipping and handling charges plus a small stipend.
I completed five offers at dell. V-bux.com on April 2. Each offer was valued between 19% and 22% credit. Between them all I had completed enough offers to earn 100% credit. Unfortunately, I was not rewarded with 100% credit, but only credited for three offers for 61% credit.
I submitted a help ticket and missing credit reports for the remaining offers I had not received credit for. I was told by support that I should expect a response anywhere from 2 hours to 31 days. I was also told that I was not required to do anything else but wait it out.
On April 4 I received credit for an offer I thought had failed when I initially had completed it. I considered this a turn of good fortune and that it meant I only needed one of the remaining two offers to clear.
On April 16 frustrated by the lack of progress and communication from v-bux, I completed another offer that should have provided me the remaining 19% credit. I was careful to follow every instruction v-bux provided to assure that I would receive credit for the offer and still I did not receive credit.
I again contacted v-bux support and was told I should still wait on my other offers.
From here out, v-bux did nothing but put me off and continue to tell me to wait and that it was out of their hands. They put the blame on their publishers and affiliates.
Finally, I was told they were meeting with their publishers last Friday (5/18/07) and that they would use my difficulties as an example. V-Bux told me they couldn't promise I would receive credit as a result of the meeting, but they would try.
Following the meeting, V-Bux support questioned my integrity and claimed that I must have been involved in something fraudulent because their publishers all claimed I was denied due to "poor lead quality". V-Bux's solution was to offer me the opportunity to re-sign up with any of their sites and they would waive the credit requirements so all I would need to do would be to refer other suckers to their site.
The problem with this solution is that it screws the person that originally referred me out of my credit as well. It also means that I am screwed out of the fees and shipping and handling charges I paid for the original offers because my referrer and I agreed he would pay me after I had received my credit.
Just a warning, people. You can't get something for nothing. V-Bux claims to pay out over 90% off their members. As one of the apparent 10% that got screwed, I can tell you it sucks. Don't bother with v-bux.
